Abstract

A beautiful and nostalgic look at the royal tour that captured a generation -- the first visit of a reigning monarch to Canada.

Fifty years ago, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth arrived at Quebec City to tour ""the senior daughter of the dominions"". This is a fond recollection of those few magic weeks and the outpouring of affection for the new king and his beautiful wife. Filled with contemporary pictures and anecdotes, this book captures the

Abstract

Mary Prince's narrative was one of the earliest to reveal the ugly truths about slavery in the West Indies to an English reading public that was largely unaware of its atrocities. Prince was born in Bermuda to an enslaved family. She spent her early life in harsh conditions and was eventually sold to John Adams Wood of Antigua, working as his domestic servant. She joined the Moravian Church, where she learned to read, and married Daniel James, a former slave who had bought his freedom. In 1828 she traveled to England with the Woods family and after protracted efforts by abolitionists was able to leave their control. Encouraged by her new employer, Thomas Pringle, who also served as her editor, Prince wrote and published her book in 1831 to wide acclaim. While eighteenth-century slave narratives largely focused on Christian spiritual journeys and religious redemption, Prince was part of a growing trend of abolitionist writers focused on the injustice of slavery. Her work stands alongside better-known narratives such as A Narrative of the Adventures and Escape of Moses Roper and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. Adding to its importance, few early women's slave narratives exist.

Abstract

"What were Prince's politics? What did he believe about God? And did he really forsake the subject-sex-that once made him the most subversive superstar of the Reagan era? In this illuminating thematic biography, Joseph Vogel explores the issues that made Prince one of the late 20th century's most unique, controversial, and fascinating artists. Since his unexpected death in 2016, Prince has been recognized by peers, critics, and music fans alike. President Barack Obama described him as "one of the most gifted and prolific musicians of our time." Yet in spite of the influx of attention, much about Prince's creative life, work, and cultural impact remains thinly examined. This Thing Called Life fills this vacuum, delving deep into seven key topics-politics, sound, race, gender, sex, religion, and death-that allow us to see Prince in fresh, invigorating new ways. Accessible and timely, This Thing Called Life takes the reader on a journey through the catalog and creative revolution of one of America's most compelling and elusive icons."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Omstreeks 1560 was Willem van Oranje de rijkste en meest veelbelovende edelman van de Nederlanden. Nog geen tien jaar later was hij zo goed als alles kwijt. Wat was er gebeurd? En wie wilde hem nog helpen?00Oranje keerde zich tegen het bewind van de Spaanse koning Filips II, dat in zijn ogen despotisch en geldbelust was. Hij vond niet alleen medestanders onder andere edelen, maar ook onder gewone burgers. Vanaf 1566, met de Beeldenstorm, kwamen de Nederlanden in opstand tegen Spanje. Filips II stuurde er de gevreesde hertog van Alva met een grote troepenmacht op af. In Mechelen en Zutphen werd een slachting aangericht, die het verzet alleen maar vastberadener maakte. Wat dreef Oranje? Hij was beslist geen heilige en riep in zijn tijd meer weerzin op dan wel wordt aangenomen. Protestantse bolwerken als Gent en Antwerpen, die ooit zijn trouwste bondgenoten waren, keerden zich uiteindelijk van hem af.00In 'De zwijger' ontrafelt René van Stipriaan de duizelingwekkende loopbaan van een van de meest onverzettelijke figuren uit de wereldgeschiedenis: zijn ambities, successen, manipulaties, nederlagen. En ook de spanningen in zijn familie, zijn bizarre huwelijksleven ? zijn neiging om, als het erop aankwam, in het verborgene te opereren.
